Every figure on this page comes from the public record: 5,759 sales registered with HM Land Registry in DE7 5 (Ilkeston) since 1995, each one a completed purchase at a real price, plus current rental figures from the ONS. Nothing here is a valuation, an estimate or an asking price.
Covers registered sales to 2026 and ONS rents for May 2026. Refreshed monthly as new sales reach the register.
In short: 50 registered 2026 sales put the DE7 5 (Ilkeston) median at £180,200, up 17% on five years earlier, with a mean of £203,100, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £2,140 per square metre over the last five years. Everything rests on 5,759 completed HM Land Registry sales since 1995, refreshed monthly; valuations and asking prices play no part.
DE7 5 is one sector of DE7 (Ilkeston): a handful of streets, and the most local view the sold record can give. The price of that locality is lumpier charts, because each year's median rests on fewer sales.

| 1996 | £33,000 | £69,596 | 144 |
| 1995 | £33,000 | £71,737 | 138 |
In cash terms the typical DE7 5 home went from £33,000 in 1995 to £180,200 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 151%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2006; the current median sits about 7% below that. Someone who bought at the 2006 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the DE7 5 median
Each bar is the change on the year before, in cash. The zero line is the boundary between rising and falling.
The strongest year on record here is 2003 (+35.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2013 (−17.0%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Growth per year, over one to twenty years
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +6.0% | +3.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.2% | −1.5% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.5% | +1.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.4% | −0.4% |
Each row is compound annual growth of the median; ONS CPIH supplies the real-terms deflator. Annualising irons out the cycle, which the chart above shows in full, and past growth records what happened rather than predicting anything.
The turnover behind the prices
How many homes change hands
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
The register shows 50 DE7 5 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 248 sales a year before the financial crisis and 135 a year over the last five. Price without volume misleads: a median built on few sales jumps around, and one street can tilt it. Keep in mind too that the latest year is still filling in, since sales reach the register weeks or months after completion.
The shape of the DE7 5 market
This is a thin market: 50 sales in the last twelve months of data. With that few transactions, one street selling well (or one block of cheap transfers) can move the median, so read the year lines as a range rather than a verdict. Within DE7, this sector trades 11% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.
The rental side of DE7 5
The local authority for DE7 5 is Erewash, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £834 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £601 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,314, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Erewash
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £180,200 median purchase price, a rent of £834 a month (£10,008 a year) works out at a 5.6% gross yield, a ceiling figure that ignores letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax. Because rents are local-authority statistics, districts sharing the authority share the figure.

DE7's current homes for sale
Turning to what is actually available: 232 homes on the market right now, from 11 agents publishing to HomesIndex.

These asking prices come live from estate agents publishing feeds to HomesIndex, refreshed each Monday and Thursday. They are a sample of the market rather than its entirety, and an asking price is not a sale price.
Moving up a bedroom in DE: the cost
Real sold prices by size across the DE area, straight from the Land Registry record. The jump between sizes is local: in some areas a third bedroom adds a quarter to the price, in others nearly four fifths, so a national rule of thumb will mislead you here.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £255,000 | £348,918 (+37%) | £540,000 (+55%) | £710,000 (+31%) |
| Semi-detached | £177,000 | £205,000 (+16%) | £247,000 (+20%) | £318,950 (+29%) | £452,500 (+42%) |

Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
